He was waiting till now to put in 100% effort? Players like this never actually play like fans wan them, he's a coaster and why would you blame him...guaranteed contracts have sucked the life out of pro sports.

he said this before the bucks game? ... in addition to being out of shape, it looks like his memory is failing, as he dogged it for the last few minutes of the game - which significantly contributed to the loss

with that comment in mind about guaranteed contracts, are you a fan of them being dropped from the next CBA? Do you think Stern will push hard enough to remove guaranteed contracts from the NBA given the Arenas situation?

I myself would like to see them removed with more incentive laden contracts as a replacement. Dangle that carrot out there to get them to put the effort in after they sign the dotted line.

Talk is cheap. I'll reserve judgement until Hedo can back up his words.

I fully agree. If this was the interview before the Bucks game, why did he look like he was putting 100% effort into being lazy?

I'll believe him when I see him start putting in some legitimate effort. It seems like it's all PR related. He was probably told to say this by his agent or the Raptors' PR team. Gotta get his image cleaned up for the fans to believe he's worth the money we're paying him.
